Athletics Club Goes National
Lancaster and Morecambe Athletic Club are celebrating after receiving ‘Clubmark’ status from England Athletics, the National Governing Body for athletics. To get this award, the club had to demonstrate to England Athletics auditors that it operates to a set of consistent national standards. This included checks on club facilities, care of junior athletes, and proper coaching resources.
The certificate was presented by England Athletics Support Officer, Claire Buckle. Claire said ‘Gaining Clubmark status is not easy, and achieving it means that Lancaster and Morecambe AC is a good quality athletics club.’ Coach Eddy Pike received the certificate for the club and commented that ‘a lot of hard work has been done by club members and coaches in promoting and coaching athletics as well as building up and improving the club facilities. We can now use the confidence of being an accredited club to progress and use it as a platform for more great work’
The club is one of the most successful in Lancashire with more than 400 members. More information is available on the club web-site lancasterathletics.co.uk
